This should be pretty simple, We won both our games and Tullamarine didn't. We should have the right but for some reason I reckon we will again be wearing our clash jumper. Does anyone know ?

I thought we were going to wear the clash strip in each game, like we do in most/all pre-season comps.

Pretty sure the clash strip is also our NAB cup/challenge strip.

It means we have to see more of it but it also means more exposure and therefore more $$$ in jumper sales. It's a necessary sacrifice I think.

HaHaHa! Yes let's check the Betfair odds....It is only the practise matches so i am not going to get fired up about the Clash strips yet.

BUT I WILL!!! Last weeks game with Essendon & St.k was just outrageous as far as this on going debate goes.

The AFL have no strategy with this issue.

After thsoe games there really isnt a debate any more..Its a total farce. Any words from Fortress-Vlad must simply be allowed to run down the drain,

Clash jumpers must be white.. but jumpers are black,,,, or blue or a handful of other colours but we cant have red...but...but....but.

Were just wasting our breath

Personally i would like to send "Rampaging" Roy Slaven down to see Vlad & co.

Roy would sort them out within minutes, wouldn't hear another peep out of 'em all season (until Brownlow Night!!)

If that is the case (and I vaguely now recall this might be the case), then my opinions held within the Demons v Bombers thread on this very issue shall be superseded.

I remember reading somewhere when I was trying to find out what was going on with the pink yolk that we would be wearing the clash strip for the NAB cup. I guess they're trying to get us used to it as quickly as possible.

I also vaguely recall the AFL last year requiring Essendon to produce a clash jumper for the 2011 season (that wasn't the widened sash). Haven't seen a clash jumper yet, nor heard a peep out of the AFL. If they get away with out having one for another season then the AFL is a farce.

I really really like our new clash strip.

I'd be happy to play in it for the remainder of the NAB cup.

Whilst I'd be happy for the club to wear it based on using it as a 'pre-season uniform' (if that has been stated in the past), I'm wary that if you give'em an inch they'll take a yard.

Surely for Essendon it's quite easy to just reverse the colours?

Doesn't look great, but no clash jumper does.

It's good enough.

I agree, but I'm sure I read somewhere that in the requirements of a clash strip there has to be an large amount of white?? Could be wrong

I'm not fussed at all to be wearing the clash strip. I am that the AFL can't see or rather care about the clashing umpy strip.

Has turned anything they (Vladland) say in this regard to a nonsense.that is all

I've thought the same for a while - for all teams. Makes it a lot easier and gets rid of all the stupid white jumpers! Fair enough for the likes of sydney, freo, carlton, collingwood etc where their secondary colour is white, but would like to see our away strip being red again. Anyway, all been done to death already!

You are right Demonator done to death and I don,t mind the latest white away strip.

You never know it might be red one day and not pink.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
